One server is a single drive and a second server has two 300gb
velociraptors mirrored on a Dell Perc 5/i.
Either way I should be getting higher speeds. I'm getting about over
100MB/s when testing /dev/sda3 with hdparm.
Is there a test I can do to eliminate the disks as a bottleneck? Maybe
set something up in RAM?
